In the office, after Zhou Yang hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought.
For Zhou Yang, investing in the camels' territory has never been just for making money. After all, there are so many places in the world where you can make money. There is no need to go to the desert with bombardments to find trouble for three melons and two dates.
The reason why he is so persistent in investing in the Middle East and continues to increase investment quotas under such a severe situation is mainly because he wants to extend his tentacles to those places to facilitate his next plan.
Zhou Yang's next plan is mainly aimed at the country's military industry, which is about to be in dire straits, although he has been vigorously promoting the military-to-civilian conversion plan to give tens of thousands of military-industrial enterprises a chance to survive.
But what we are facing now are military-industrial units after all. Not all of them are suitable for switching to civilian industries. For example, military-industrial units that produce cannons cannot be sold to ordinary people no matter how they are modified!
Therefore, if we want to solve the dilemma of domestic military industry enterprises, in addition to vigorously promoting the conversion of military to civilians, we must also find another way out for them-military industry exports!
To put it bluntly, we want to sell our military products abroad to create foreign exchange and at the same time create orders for domestic military companies.
However, it is not easy to sell arms. First, you must have customers and gain their trust.
And who is most short of arms in the world now?
Undoubtedly, they are the camels who play "firefights" every day, so Zhou Yang's next plan is to sell military firepower to those camels.
The main reason why Zhou Yang dared to do this and had the confidence to do it well was because he knew that this was what the country did in his previous life.
But whether you know this period of history or not, you must have heard the saying - "Rabbit is the biggest winner in the Iran-Iraq war."
Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable!
Since 1981, Camel Samou has purchased nearly 3,100 tanks of various types from us, mainly the Type 69II tank derived from the Type 69. In addition to main battle tanks, Samou also introduced light and heavy weapons including the Type 59-1 130mm cannon, Type 67-2 machine gun, and Type 56 semi-automatic rifle through various methods.
Due to the fierce fighting in the early stages of the Iran-Iraq War, Camel Samou purchased a considerable amount of weapons and received financial support from many alliance brother countries. The payment for the goods was also very happy. In general, the cooperation between the two parties was relatively pleasant.
However, when these weapons were used in actual combat, Luotuo Yi quickly realized that his opponent had a new source of equipment, and through battlefield seizures and reconnaissance, he discovered that the source of these weapons was rabbits.
Therefore, after Luotuo Yi tried to make contact, he also purchased weapons and equipment from us including Type 63 armored vehicles, Type 63 107mm rocket launchers, and Type 59-1 130mm cannons through transit in a third country.
Even 30 J-7N fighter jets were introduced in 1988. However, because the final delivery of the J-7N was after the end of the Iran-Iraq War, there was no J-7 fight between the two countries over the Persian Gulf.
In this way, during the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war, the annual export volume of our military industry has never been less than 1.2 billion US dollars. At its peak in 1986 and 1987, it even reached a peak of 2.2 billion US dollars and 2.4 billion US dollars.
Therefore, it is roughly estimated that the total exports of camels from our military industry in the past eight years is approximately US$130.
Of course, this is only part of it. For example, in 1983, China also exported two 053HE frigates to China. In 1987 and 1988, it exported a total of 60 J-7 fighter jets to Pakistan Railways. In 1988, it exported "Ka" exported 50 69II tanks, etc., but these export revenues were not included in it.
This is tens of billions of dollars in revenue. Considering the current economic situation, it is definitely a timely help for our military industry.
Of course, the benefits of military exports are not just about making money. They have many benefits for the entire military industry. In addition to bringing a large amount of funds for its own development, it also obtains the benefits of the previous domestic self-circulation production of weapons and equipment. , advanced experience that cannot be obtained.
These experiences do not just refer to the weapons development experience Chengdu gained through exchanges with participating countries when exporting the J-7 series fighter jets. It also enables the country to have a general understanding of common problems and pitfalls in international weapons and equipment trading models, thus avoiding possible subsequent losses.
For example, in the mid-1990s, Da Mao recommended the Su-30 fighter jet to us and said that the technology of the Su-30 fighter jet "has basically completed research and development, and it can reach a mature state with only a small amount of funds."
However, through the previous process of transforming the J-7IIA, which was on the verge of failure, into the J-7M for export, AVIC clearly understood the risks hidden behind Mao’s rhetoric, and finally declined the cooperation proposed by Mao. Will.
It can be said that the Iran-Iraq war saved our military industry and provided us with valuable foreign exchange in the early stages of reform and opening up.
It's a pity that due to various concerns at that time, our military exports did not dare to take too big a step, and we missed a lot of markets.
What Zhou Yang has to do now is to make arrangements in advance, get rid of the concerns of the top management, and find a way out for the domestic military industry as soon as possible.
However, at home, China has not yet clarified the basic principles for the export of weapons and equipment. It is still implementing military assistance policies and has many restrictions on military exports.
So Zhou Yang didn't tell Lu Zhengjun explicitly, and when he finished the layout there, he would report it directly to Mr. Jiang, and the matter might be settled!
While Zhou Yang was deep in thought, the loudspeaker in the village suddenly rang, and then came Wang Ping's familiar voice: "Attention to the village members and educated youth taking the college entrance examination... Attention to the village members and educated youth taking the college entrance examination. Okay, the comrades whose names I read below will rush to the brigade headquarters immediately to collect your physical examination notices: Hu Jun, Yang Kexin, Zhang Mingjie, Yang Lulu, Liu Yuxi, Kang Yue, Wang Na, Wang Ping..."
After hearing the news coming from the loudspeaker, Zhou Yang knew that the college entrance examination results were out.
Although I don’t know what the results of these candidates in the village will be this year, but after hearing this series of names, I think they should be pretty good.
After all, being able to get a physical examination notice means that you have passed the cultural class, and the rest depends on the physical examination and political review.
If there are no problems with these two levels, then you are a proper college student.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately called Chen Beixuan and rushed to the brigade headquarters.
When Zhou Yang rushed to the brigade headquarters, there were already many people here, and everyone was chatting around the postman Liang Xiaoping.
But now in the office of the brigade headquarters, most of them are village cadres, including Li Jianguo, Zhang Genwang, Liang Feng, and even Zhou Yang saw his old father-in-law Li Fengnian. Judging from their appearance, they probably just finished the meeting.
As for the ordinary members and educated youth, Zhou Yang didn't see any of them, obviously they hadn't arrived yet.
After all, a person's two feet can't run on four wheels!
In the radio room next door, Wang Ping was still talking on the radio, notifying those educated youth members who had been admitted to college to come and receive physical examination notices.
Seeing Zhou Yang, Li Fengnian waved immediately!
Zhou Yang strode over and asked, "Dad, how was the village exam this year?"
Li Fengnian grinned and said, "Not bad. In the first batch, 112 people have received physical examination notices, and there are more than 70 undergraduates. At this rate, at least half of them can pass the exam!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't have high expectations for this batch of candidates. It would be good if half of them passed the exam.
After all, the national average admission rate is only about 7%. If their village has an admission rate of 50%, it is definitely a miracle for the college entrance examination.
If this is the case, education may become another pillar industry in Babaoliang Village, just like the small town of Hengshui in southern Hebei and the Maotai Factory in central Anhui.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang's eyes couldn't help but become profound...
